Port membership

In the navigation pane, the top four icons represent the port memberships described in the following table.


Icon Port type Description

Unassigned
A port that do not belong to any STG. If no devices in the network contain unassigned ports, a table does not open in the contents pane. For more information, see Viewing the unassigned ports.

Tagging
A port that has tagging enabled and can belong to multiple STGs. If a tagged frame is received on a tagged port, with a VLAN ID specified in the tag, the switch directs it to that VLAN, if it is present. For more information, see Viewing tagged Ports.

Isolated Routing Port (IRP)
A port that can only route IP packets and does not belong to any STG or VLAN. For more information, see Viewing isolated router ports (IRPs).
Note: IRPs are applicable only to the Passport 1000 Series switch.

Bridge Routing (brouter ports)
A port that can route IP packets as well as bridge all nonroutable traffic. The routing interface is not subjected to the Spanning Tree Protocol. For more information, see Viewing bridge routing Ports.
Note: Bridge routing ports, or brouter ports, are available only on the Passport 1000 Series switch and the Passport 8600 switch.
